Maybe I’m just getting old or maybe it’s because we’ve spent roughly five months of the past year primarily confined to our houses (I’m praying it’s the latter) but my friends, colleagues and myself all seem to be spending a good portion of our pay checks on grown-up homeware buys. Sure, a fabulous new coat

There’s no better time than a national lockdown to test out the coolest new skincare/makeup/hair trends and snazzy innovations in beauty tech from the comfort of your own home. That said, there’s nothing more frustrating than spending upwards of £100 on a snazzy new hair treatment or at-home facial system, only to find out it

Whether you opt for citrus, nostalgic or even a celebrity fragrance (Britney Spears Fantasy, I love you), finding your signature scent is no mean feat.

If you’re looking for some warm-apple-pie entertainment during these chilly winter months, look no further than Netflix’s Firefly Lane. The TV series, which hits Netflix on February 3, is based on Kristin Hannah’s popular novel and stars (brunette) Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke as beloved best friends Tully and Kate.

Under normal circumstances, asking the question, “How are you?” would likely render a habitual response. “Fine.” But as 2020—and the first few weeks of 2021—proved, there’s nothing normal about the current state of the world. Posing the same question to the famed fashion editor and author of The Chiffon Trenches: A Memoir, André Leon Talley

The Critics’ Choice Awards 2021 nominations have been revealed, and The Crown and Ozark top the list for the most-nominated shows. Both Netflix series have six nominations each.

If you haven’t heard of Bling Empire by now, it’s the latest reality TV series to drop on Netflix that has got everyone talking.

Chances are you’ll have seen Trinny Woodall on social in her Shapewear and with zero makeup on.

As we find ourselves in yet another lockdown, many of us are looking for ways to cope with the myriad mental health implications – loneliness, health anxiety, financial insecurity. It’s no wonder then that many of us turn to drinking. In fact, a recent study from Drinkaware found that 26% of us drank more alcohol during

If there’s one thing we can thank Coronavirus for, it’s that we’ve all started to really appreciate the people in our lives – and is there anyone more deserving of our appreciation than our mums? Whether the past (and current) lockdowns have kept you apart or meant you’ve spent more time together than ever before,
